Game Review 2011-09-25

Urban Legends - The Maze

Practice makes perfect. This is a well-known fact. This is true for many things. This is also true for the casual games. Using horror /demonic/mystery themes for the hidden object/adventure began long ago. It seems like this feature only develops with time. Urban Legends - The Maze is for those who like tickling their nerves with all that stuff.

The game is great in the way how the animated portions come alive right in the scenes you are in.

The developers of the game really deserve the credit for the innovation of this game. And that is the story background. This time around you are to solve the mystery of the missing reality show contestants. That is not very popular among the stories of this genre.

The families of the missing people want you to find out what happened when on the last day of the show they all disappeared. There is one thing that become clear right away. You come to the show premises and meet a strange character there. You see him quite often, but you learn what's going on only as you proceed more and more in the game.

The game is great in the way how the animated portions come alive right in the scenes you are in. The graphics are absolutely beautifully drawn. There is not voice-over, but it is still okay.

The game is full of different inventory you are to collect and use in the right place. There are also occasional mini-games and also many hidden object levels with many things to find. The hidden object searches are very enjoyable because the locations are not clutterd with whatever can come to your mind, but rather with things that actually belong more or less.

The game is great as the one possessing all the right features as long as you don't mind all those horrifying parts.
